Dr. Turner is a very good professor. While I struggled all year long and was failing at midterms, he offered extra credit and worked with me to help me end with a B. He is super caring and available outside the class. He also has a cool half sleeve tattoo. I highly recommend his class.

Research
Jeffrey W.
Turner
Corpus Christi, Texas
Invisible to the naked eye, microbes are the most abundant organisms on earth, yet the extent of their diversity and influence remains largely unknown. My laboratory explores the distribution, diversity and evolution of microbes in aquatic ecosystems. In particular, I am interested in how ecosystem change (e.g., pollution, eutrophication, habitat loss and climate change) affects microbial populations. For this purpose, I frequently focus on bacteria belonging to the Vibrio genus, which contains many pathogenic variants (e.g. V. cholerae, V. vulnificus and V. parahaemolyticus). Research also includes microbial indicators of anthropogenic pollution (Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis) and microbial pathogens of corals (Serratia marcescens).
